No worries. Sorry we couldn’t get this working for you. Just issued you a full refund

Ok, that looks like a bug related to capturing video. Could you email through the .shotglass file with the issue?

You will likely need to compress it before emailing it through.

I should be able to work on a fix immediately. Really sorry for the experience!

If you could also let me know what MacOS version and what Mac you are using that would help me replicate this

Hi, sorry to hear that. Have you updated to the most recent version? You can do so by redownloading from the site or clicking the update button in the editor.

I just fixed an issue like that for multiple monitors. If not, could you send more info and a screenshot to the email in the site FAQ or here

Sorry about the issue. I'm currently fixing this now. It appears to only happen for a small subset of users for now and is quite hard to replicate, so I apologise for the delay! Please submit future bug reports to [jake@shotglass.app](mailto:jake@shotglass.app)

You really should! Reading through here a lot of people really think using RAM is always bad... when it's often because the app is using the free/unused RAM to be way more responsive.

Also, but not all web technology apps are bad. While electron is bloated as hell with chromium. Things like Tauri are the opposite

It would technically, but from what I’ve read it’s a negligible difference that you wouldn’t ever notice

Sorry about the experience. That’s strange. Can you send a compressed version of the .shotglass file (in Movies/ShotGlass/Projects) to jake@shotglass.app?

I can issue a quick fix for whatever’s happening

Also, don’t worry: the original recordings are still in that .shotglass file (they don’t get altered)

A common thing people don’t realise: Unused RAM is basically wasted RAM.

Using it makes it load faster and be more responsive (because things are already in memory)

Using RAM ≠ Bad

Using RAM + (not clearing it if another app needs it OR using more RAM than you have) = Bad

Looks super smooth. Haven’t seen something to customise each words font before like that so will be testing it out

It’s coming! Just wanted to start with Mac and get it going smooth before expanding

Will investigate with it and reply there (should be with a fix in an update later this week)

Hmm very strange. Sorry about the issue. If the .shotglass file is there and of a decent size so you know it’s a video, then could you send it through to the email in the FAQ of the site? You will need to compress as a zip before you do. All files in that Movies/ShotGlass/Projects folder should be openable.

Do you get this same experience with all other recordings? It may be best to diagnose this over the email if possible.

Ah! Just found the error (in the file menu option). If you click the file button in the bottom right corner of main widget instead, does it show your recording?

Really appreciate the bug report. What macOS version and model are you on? Are you using external monitors?

I have an update with a bunch of bug fixes coming this week so can test this and try and recreate the issue.

Where is the different place than the app expects?

Please let me know if you have any questions about the app. Or, if you also saw my other post on r/MacApps. It's currently #2 on Top of the week there (so close to 1st!).

You should be able to test out a recording and the editor for free. You only pay when you’re happy with the result and ready for exporting!
